When the exchange I'm connected was upgraded recently I regraded from Home 1000 to Active & also signed up for the Quality Monitor. I check it occasionally & have come across a significant change in latency after a period of disconnection the 24th October, which can be seen in the graph here:
My Broadband Ping
Before the switch I was getting 10ms latency & after it's about 30ms.
I also run speedtests occasionally & before the change I've been getting a very consistent download speed of around 2505-2514 kbps. I checked tonight & I'm now seeing 3160kbps, so it seems I've traded an extra 660kps of speed for 20ms of latency.
I'm not a gamer so that aspect doesn't worry me but is there a mechanism to explain this balancing act? Ideally I'd like my new higher speed with the old lower latency.
